Around the world, folks are taking to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to create photos and videos of themselves zipping around with this 2 wheel contraption which basically seems as if a board with a wheel on spare on both.

A mixture of a skateboard along with a segway, this mini Segway (with no handle) type thing is growing in popularity, fuelled simply by the amount of celebrities that have been seen one. From Attacking young boys to Soulja Boy, Kendall Jenner to Jamie Foxx, have the ability to tried their hand only at that nifty little gadget, and seem to get were built with a lots of fun doing this.

Nicknamed the 'swegway' (on account of it's likeness for the Segway, but a 'cooler' version) we aren't sure entirely where this type of electric scooter descends from or who invented the very first. Almost certainly it comes from some factory in China. The initial glimpses we had of it in the news were something named the IO Hawk, a scooter that sells for an astonishing $1800. This was in January of 2015. Since then many cheaper versions of the same product have fallen in the marketplace and also the average price right now looks like it's around $500.

How does it work? Basically you get up on the 2 main panels and shift your body weight slightly forward or slightly back and it also senses this bodyweight change and moves backwards or forwards. It can also turn left or right. This scooter is turning out to be so well liked it is really being touted as the personal mobility device of the future. Who wants to walk when it's possible to glide, right? Plus it's a lot faster than walking, travelling at speeds of 6mph to 10mph.

Where would you purchase one? These are situated on many different websites but under different brandnames possibly at vastly different prices. As an illustration the IO Hawk stated previously is $1800 even though the Phunkeeduck is all about $1500 and a lot cheaper is the Monorover R2 which will come in just $400-$600 (determined by that you get it). What are the differences between all these? None whatsoever. In fact all of them are almost the exact same with the exception of some small, hardly noticeable differences. It will depend on your budget and if name is very important for you.
